Prongs on wing question
Hope I'm in the right forum for this...
Having sat looking out of the window for hours on planes I have always wondered what the collection of little antenna like things are towards the end and at the back of the wings - there's usually about 5 or 6 of them and they look like little radio aeriels... what do they do?
